on the bosphorus? ... From: Jean-Patrick Charrey To: Turk-Rail@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 12:29 AM Subject: Re: [Turk-Rail] DGEG Tour...
On the ferry of course! (that said I don't think these rail ferries are allowed to carry passengers for safety reasons) ... From: "osman sermet kabasakal"...
Actually those ferries have some seat places for passengers (especially the ferry "Demiryolu-III") but they are not used for safety reasons. ... From:...
For those interested in TCDD more than (modern) public transport and tramways, I understand that DGEG is also working on a future railtour of Anatolia and...
Keep cool all, either it works or it won't work out. We'll see. I'll keep you updated. Chris BTW: as for next year's programme - has any of you reliable info...
Christian, The Hanli-Bostankaya bypass (Sivas avoiding line) is very much active. In fact, it IS the main line for through freight, and the Sivas line seems to...
As I know, it is an electrified line and the line is used mainly for carrying iron ores from Divrigi to the iron and steel plants in Iskenderun. I think the E...
I don't think it is electrified. It is definitely signalled (CTC/ABS). Electrification has not been implemented between Cetinkaya and Kayas (Ankara), yet. ...
Hi The E43000's allocated to this line are equipped with auto couplers and so are rarely seen elsewhere as a matter of interest I was hauled by every member of...
Malcolm, I think the line in question in Christian's original email is the Hanli-Bostankaya cut-off bypassing Sivas. I don't this this is electrified. These...
Derya Yes I know, I was there when they opened the Sivas bypass, (by chance) I just picked up on the comment about the E43000's working Divrigi to Iskenderun...

I was in Izmir recently, taking the new "6 Eylul" express from Bandirma after crossing the Sea of Marmara by a fast ferry. All the catenary has been removed...
Oguz Sorry to here that - yes even in the 1990's the Izmir suburban service was efficient and well used, last time I went there (2003) it seemed that railways...
Thanks for giving these details. Unfortunately an incurable enemity against railways is seen obviously in Izmir Municipality and people as well as the whole...

I don't know the situation in other countries but I think there are lots of railways on the ground in all the big cities in Europe. On the other hand, railways...
... It is both true and not. Railways, especially in Izmir, is the third railroad built by concessions granted from Ottoman Empire. The fires two were built ...
Hi Goksin Paris use to have a very large tram network, including steam trams and steam trains right into the city center. This existed until the 1950's and was...
Just a brief note on Izmir railway system to clearify mess of comments; The project currently being constructed by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) is...
Railways in not solely for passenger transport, freight carriage is as important as passenger carriage, maybe even more important especially in Izmir as a main...
Erhan Thanks for the update, this clearly will redefine the railway at Alsancak for it to become a through station - will this be at grade or elevated / ...
You know guys, I think it would be great if the trains from Aliaga first call at Alsancak and then reverse to Menderes. This solution will enable coverage of...
